However, since Patent Document 1 protects the joint part only by the elastic force of the band itself, it can relieve the force applied to the joint part only when the knee joint is flexed or bent, and the joint part as well as the joint part are supported There is a problem that it is difficult to stably support the ligaments and muscles that are being performed.

Patent Document 2 also relates to a "band for protecting a joint", in which an opening is formed so that a part of a user's joint is exposed on one side of a cylindrical band body inserted and fixed in each joint, The band body is provided with a plurality of finger pressure protrusions for contacting the user's joints, and a band member having elastic force is provided on one side of the band body. A balcrouz tape is provided at the tip and a part of the fixing member, The body is fixed in a flexible state with the band body wrapped around. The band is provided with an acupressure function and a padding function to maximize the therapeutic effect of the wearer such as improvement of the blood circulation of the joint, pain relief, joint muscle ligament protection, joint shock absorption, To help promote health, and the band has the ability to protect the skin to wake up when wearing the band Can prevent skin diseases in advance and that the anion and the far-infrared ray are simultaneously radiated in the joint protection band, thereby adding deodorizing power and antimicrobial power.

However, in Patent Document 2, since the joint portion is protected only by the elastic force of the band itself, the same problem as in Patent Document 1 is retained.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a joint protector capable of stably supporting the ligament and the muscles supporting the joint, as well as the impact on the joint when the joint is flexed or expanded.
